It's going to be tight either way, time to flip the script on '06.

This doesn't even feel close to the same as what happened in '06. That year, I always felt that they were just staving off the inevitable loss after Rolo got hurt in Game 1. This year, it feels like the proverbial date with destiny.

Yeah that team had to grind for every single bit of anything they got. Carolina kinda threw the towel in on game 6 too, totally flipping to the mindset that they were gonna go all in on game 7, and we kinda got overconfident of how easy game 6 was.
Found the game sheet from that game 7. What was even going on with the ice time?

Smyth 17 mins. Hemsky 15:52.
My memory is fading of how that team was coached, but boy does that not look like ice times of a team that was trailing from 1:30 into the 1st period of a game 7.
Not having game breakers up front, or at least barely even playing your best offensive players up front, is not an issue we have today. Our big boys are gonna get all the time they need to show what they have tonight. We will win or lose with them, and I like our odds.

This is what scares me about tonight....Mac-T typically made all the right adjustments with his playoff lineups (01, 03, and 06) until that Game 7 of the 2006 SCF.
Whatever the case, I am ripe with nerves as the last couple weeks in my life have been inevitable with many changes coming...and also rather unproductive as this series has consumed so much of my existence following this team since the early 2000s.
That 06 team was full of gamebreakers at forward but at sporadic albeit timely moments for the most part. Samsonov, Peca, Hemsky, Torres, Stoll, Pisani, Smitty, etc. While I am too appreciative of Horcoff's efforts in that run, he was a huge benefactor of #83 and #94.
Anyways...tired of all the narratives...media coverage, etc. Let's get the show on the road & empty the clip tonight!

I dunno if I would call those many of players game breakers. More like overachieving underdogs. Most of those guys did nothing else in playoffs the rest of their careers aside from being really good depth guys, and at best above average regular seasons. We have two of likely the top 5 players in the world at forward and a D playing like a top 3 of current offensive D. Had Pronger in 2006, but he had the entire weight of the team on his back to have to carry every situation. Was little left to go hard on offense.
Enough talking down about the 2006 team and trying to talk up the current guys from me though. Gotta hope for the best. That our top guys have a whale of a game and that we don't get messed over by bad puck luck.
